Hi
My brother in-law introduced me to the Witcher 3 - like it. Really like the Gwent game. We decided I would acquire some 'real life cards' so we can play one evening.
So... I bought some official decks from ebay. Northern Realm and Nilfgaard, 2 boxes, each with 60 cards. This is a good start but I now have alot of questions and I don't know where to get answers so I thought I would reach out for help / guidance on here. It all really boils down to how / where to get more individual cards as I am trying to replicate my deck I use within the Witcher 3, in real cards.
1. Blue Stripes Commando. The Northern Realm deck came with 1 card, but its ability is to double up when you place 2 of the same card.
i) Why does it only come with 1?
ii) Was it supposed to come with just 1 (Note that on both decks, they both had 60 cards, all matching types, both only have 1 of each 'shared ability' multiplier type cards, so I am to believe that these are 2 completed 'starter decks'.
iii) How am I supposed to get another 1 or 2 (plus the same concept for the other multiplier special ability cards).
iv) If I can't get more cards to make use of the multiplier abilty, what is the point of selling them with only 1 card?
2. Heros. My understanding of the game within 'the witcher 3' is that the heros are all 'neutral' and can be played in different decks. However, take the Northern Realm deck (real cards) for example, it came with 4 heros (e.g. Vernon Roche), but these are all 'branded' e.g. on the back of the Vernon card is has the symbol for Northern Realm, and on the front of the card is the blue stripe. So... Questions become:
i) How are you supposed to acquire the other hero's to add to your deck?
ii) Why are they branded?
iii) Are you supposed to track down the specific hero with the specific brand?
iv) if not, how are you supposed to play the hero in other decks e.g. My Northern Realm Vernon Roche card in the Nilfgaard deck?
v) Where do I get cards like Ceri / Yeniffer and which 'deck' are they from OR are they actually neutral?
vi) Do neutral versions of the hero's exist and if so, again, how are you supposed to play with them in real life as you, and opponent will know the next card up is neutral therefore a hero coming etc...
Lots of questions!
Thanks in advance for shedding some light on this new chapter where I am obviously very late to the party!
